QuickBooks® Online, QuickBooks® Desktop, and Check Envelope Compatibility
As the most popular accounting software on the market, QuickBooks® software has become a staple for many businesses that write checks regularly. Two popular subsets of the QuickBooks® product suite are QuickBooks® Online and QuickBooks® Desktop. Let’s dive a bit into the features of each of these products.
QuickBooks® Online
QuickBooks® has made its array of features easily accessible online through the QuickBooks® Online product. This is a cloud-accessible form of the Quickbooks® accounting suite, one of the most popular among those who print checks. Read more about the features included with QuickBooks® Online.
QuickBooks® Desktop
QuickBooks® Desktop is a desktop version of the accounting software that is not cloud-based. Quickbooks® offers several payroll-specific services. You can view which QB products offer which payroll services here.
Envelopes Compatible with QuickBooks® Software
All checks that you write using QuickBooks® software will be computer checks. For computer checks, we recommend using double-window security envelopes made specifically for checks. These envelopes show only the business name as well as the recipient's name and address. These double-window envelopes come in two sizes:
- 8 5/8” x 3 5/8.”
- 6 1/4” x 3.”
Having two windows saves you time on addressing and will work perfectly with your Quickbooks® -printed checks.
You can also use windowless imprinted envelopes or single window imprinted envelopes found here. The single-window checks can also save you time on addressing by showing the recipient name, while a windowless imprinted envelope will show only what you write on the front and any company logo you elect to have printed on the envelope.
